- My boyfriend recently bought me a set of stone bowls from the local Korean supermarket as a surprise :D ...I think he is hinting for me to make him some bibimbap. :P
Here I show you how to season the bowls before using them for the first time.
Very rare to find a stone pot seasoning vid. Much needed, thank you very much!
I received one of these cool bowls from my son. These were great tips to season and care for something I was unfamiliar with. Thanks!
Bopping my head to the music as I enjoy the video. :)
I am so very happy to have stumbled upon this video! I got my dolsot last Christmas and was scared to use on my element top stove. I only saw it used on gas. I'm finally going to make kimchi jjigae!!!! thank you for your video!♡
luv2bdazzled you're very welcome! Happy cooking! :)
Thanks for that. I've got a couple of bowls on order and this will help me with the next step.
harnamthandi You're welcome! :) Just remember to heat them gradually anytime you use them. I've heard horrible stories of them cracking when heated too quickly. Enjoy your bowls, they're sure to impress!
I bought one of these Stone bowls from a South Korean lady at an Eastern NC usa yard sale couple weeks ago. Just used it for the first time yesterday. I made a packaged ramen and added raw vegetables to it and it was wonderful because it kept the soup really hot. Plus it's just such a cool thing. I'm really happy to find this video, I had no idea whatsoever how to clean it and I did not know I was supposed to season it like cast iron! I'm going to go do that in a few minutes to my bowl that is sitting drying on my kitchen counter. It's not hot anymore and I didn't go through the step of the boiling what was it baking soda in it or was that salt? I think it was salt but I remember the purpose was to disinfect.
Yes, it’s just salt to disinfect it. 😊 and your ramen bowl sounds delicious!
Thank you so much! Great video! Very informative and easy to understand. One more question: Do I need to brush the outside of the bowl with oil?
Nope, the outside does not need oil. I just added a little as it looked better that way. Cheers!
Thank you for the informative video. It helped me season my first stone bowl! Question: How do we clean the bowl after use? Should we use soap, or not? Please advise.
Edit: Found the answer going over the rest of the comments. Thank you, once again!
Mriganka T hi dude, I think soap is ok but it may be a good idea to just use hot water and salt? Then reoil :)
@@bozumoyo3277 Soap is a no-go as it soaks into the porous stone.
Got mine 8 years ago from a lovely Korean lady's store. I washed it, but wasn't clear on the rest of the process.
Nice informative video! I want to cook a bibimbap for my partner but I have a few questions.
1. Do I do this for the ceramic ones?
2. Do I do this every time I use it?
3. Would I be able cook in these pots, including the ceramic ones, without ruining the bowl?
Hi +Orange Pillow, to answer your questions:
1. Nope, "seasoning" is not needed for the ceramic bowls. This type of stone is porous which is why we treat/wash them differently.
2. It is also not required to season stone bowls every time they are used. The sesame oil can be re-applied if needed.
3. Both stone and ceramic bowls can certainly be used to cook in! However, just be careful with big changes in temperature -- don't heat it up too quickly or throw a hot bowl into cold water, etc. as this may cause cracking.
Hope this helps, and hope your partner enjoys your bibimbap! :)
+MyFoodFix yay! thank you for the answer! :)
Thank you for the information. I received bowls for Christmas.
Just the right video for me. THANKS MUCH!!!
great video! What kind of stones are they made from?
This was soooooo helpful!!!!!
Hey nice one. Are these vessels suitable for glass top stove? Am purchasing some from India now
Thank you for this very informative video. I was going to buy my stone bowl today, in fact, and did not know that they needed to be seasoned so, you saved me from certain misery.
My question. How many applications were necessary before the bowl was sufficiently absorbed with the oil and perfectly seasoned?
+Cheryl S. Thanks! The number of applications may depend on your bowl specifically, but for mine, it only took 1-2 coatings with sesame oil. When it's sufficiently coated, oil will begin to pool at the bottom of the bowl, so you know that no more can be absorbed. :)
Do you heat the bowl before use to polymerize the oil into a coating? Sesame oil has a rather high smoking temperature -- 450F.
Yes, that’s right! The coating helps the surface to become non-stick as well.
The video was very helpful. Thank you. Is it necessary to oil the bowl each time you use the bowl?
When it’s seasoned, the oil should fill up the pores of the stone, but I do like to add some sesame oil when I use it because it helps to prevent rice from sticking and it has a nice aroma!
Thank you for the Wonderful video ..!! ❤ ✌️
Are you treating it on a electric stove? I thought we could not. So if you did & it did not crack, would tell me at what setting you turned your burner at
Thank you I learned a lot I appreciate that …. and I subscribe to your channel
Great video! Does it have to be sesame oil?
Any type of vegetable oil will do.
Can you use dish soap to wash these stone bowls?
I'd like this stone bowl. It keeps the food hot all time. However, I don't know how it made this bowl. Is it safe for health? Does it need to brush the oil every time using it? Thank you!
It's safe! Only brush oil on again when needed.
Helloo. Is this necessary? What happens if you dont season?
Hey there hopefully you can answer this - does this have to be done everytime you want to use them or is it just an initial one-off thing? I got a pair of gorgeous dolsot and I wanna look after them. Thank you!
+Jessica Little
Hi Jessica,
Like seasoning a pan, this should be done initially. The oil is absorbed into the bowls and stays if you don't wash them with soap. However, after several uses, the oil coating may begin to fade, so you will have to reapply. I recommend using a light coat of sesame oil each time for cooking and because it tastes great! Hope you enjoy your bowls, and with some care, they can last a really long time!
Thanks very much for taking the time to reply - this helps a lot.
You're very welcome. Glad I could help! :)
Will I need to do this every time I use it?
Giulietta AliceNine yes
Thank you for the video. You say you apply oil on the inside but it looks like you've done it on the outside too since you can clearly see it's darker on the outside. So should I brush it on the outside too, even the bottom?
Good question. The inside of the bowl is most important since it is the cooking surface but I decided to brush the outside of my bowls with regular vegetable oil (since sesame oil burns easily) so they have an even colour all around. It is more for aesthetics so it's really up to you! :)
can anyone tell me for what the metall band is for? anti-cracking?
Yes.
Can i use vegetable oil?
Yes, you definitely can!
I have heard you can't use soap on the bowls. Is this true?
Hi Rachel,
Yes, it is true that you should not use soap on these kinds of stone bowls because the stone is porous. Soap can get absorbed into them and later transfer to your food which tastes bad and isn't really "healthy". Generally a good scrubbing with a brush should do... but if your bowl gets greasy, you can mix some baking soda and salt with a little bit of water to make a paste. Rub the paste into the oily spots and rinse off with warm water.
It's not good to constantly force the stone through a wet and dry cycle. I would just wipe it down after finishing your meal. Nothing should stick, if you use enough heat. If you HAVE to wash it, you should use a starch water, from washing high starch short grain rice, or tap water with little bit of flour mixed in. Use the highest temp oil you have, like flaxseed or peanut instead of low temp oil like olive or sasame, with organic sediments that will burn in to your stone, making it sticky.
Andrew Jackson thank you for your input! :)
MyFoodFix I meant well. Not criticism. I was young enough when me mom and I went to BangWahGan, where ingreds. like red pepper, and sesame seeds were freshly milled. Same machine toasted them before grinding them. It's kind of like BEST coffee you can have, when you have virgin coffee beans to start with. When you grind the beans immediately following the roasting, and then brewed..? that's like $9 cup of coffee. Now ALL Koreans (young AND old) seem to wanna make "culinary vids" just for the sake of making it.. and saying look at me, me ME, instead of saying look at what I've made. That's where Genuine taste comes from.. SelfLESS ness wanting to feed, instead of showing off and Devour.
Andrew Jackson yes, I know you mean well and that's why we humbly appreciate your feedback. Cheers!
Hello I was wondering what the size of the bowls are in this video.
+Striving4Jannahh Hi, the size of these bowls is about 7" in diameter (large enough to share between 2 people, or if you have a big appetite! :) ).
Is there a reason you didn't use regular soap?
Stone pots are pourous so they would absorb the soap if you used it while cleaning. Therefore it is not recommended.
👍💛
Won't the sesame oil get rancid if you use it to season The Dolsot?
Remember how she heated the bowl? The heat is still there, and will slowly polymerize the oil as it cools. It won’t have the structure go rancid anymore.
Thanks!
Did you apply oil on the outside of the pot as well?
+Sophia Kim I did just to make the colour look even all around. This is definitely not required.
MyFoodFix oh okay yea I wasn't sure if it's okay to do it or it's better not to
Can this stone pot be used on a smooth top stove or in the microwave?
Hi Beth, unfortunately, this stone bowl cannot be used on an induction stove (if that is what you're talking about) because it is not metallic on the bottom, so it will not activate the induction surface. If it is just an electric smooth top stove (coils under glass), it should work!
To answer your second question, this stone bowl is not microwave safe either because it has a metallic band but if yours doesn't have this band, you might want to check with the manufacturer's instructions to see if you can use it in the microwave. Otherwise, these bowls are perfectly usable on gas stoves and in ovens too... as long as they are heated up slowly.
Can I use olive oil inside instead of sesame oil??
